God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. And ME to share all the pain, laughter, tears, sorrow,happiness, sun and rain with you! Let us endure all the 暴风雨 and 彩虹 together!

黃昏 - 周傳雄

Was listening to mp3s and decided to play the following song......

Still remember this is Ms Zachia Low all time favourite song in 2004...... whenever we go NPCC HQ for OEP... in her office.... or even in her white Honda Civics when she send us back home....


黃昏 - 周傳雄


过完整个夏天
忧伤并没有好一些
开车行驶在公路无际无边
有离开自己的感觉
唱不完一首歌
疲倦还剩下黑眼圈
感情的世界伤害在所难免
黄昏再美终要黑夜
依然记得从你口中说出再现坚决如铁
昏暗中有种烈日灼身的错觉
黄昏的地平线
划出一句离别
爱情进入永夜
依然记得从你眼中滑落的泪伤心欲绝
混乱中有种热泪烧伤的错觉
黄昏的地平线
割断幸福喜悦
相爱已经幻灭

The Not-For-Profit Care and Passion

Sometimes these are the people and things make us continue to do things that we believe in ... ... and make us remember what is the reason that make us do what we do.... Not-for-Profit Care..... and Passion......

From 1 of my clients that I've seen before I move over to children side:

To My Dearest OT & PT Quek Xiu Ling, (transdisciplinary you see..... so I am not only an OT but a PT to the client)

Indeed You made me to Achieve What I Lost out of Many Years ..... Words cannot Express Great Of Freedom on my Legs again ..... Tomorrow I will start with slow jog around ....Indeed One must have Faith in You as Invigorates Great Healings!!!! Thank You for making me walk without sticks You will be Feature in my Book of Recovery .....Again Merci,,,,Thasnk You from the bottom of my Heart!! You are Great!!

The Rise Of xxx Again !!!
(name deleted and replaced due to comfidentialty)

Another client's mother:


"You are one of the better therapists that I have seen...... you really "pattern chu gao liao" (meaning try all sort of activities)..... "

"记得回娘家喔。。。。。。"
(meaning going back to adult rehab, using analogy of going back to parent's place)

Other clients:

"We can still go and find you if we want right?"


I'm glad that in my first year in adult rehab.... I've make an impact in people's lives..... Hope I can continue to do so when I see my little mei mei and di di at children side.......

They really make me feel like I am leaving the organization like that..... no wonder SY was asking if I am going for a long trip..... but in actual fact, I am just shifting to another department, which is the next block. =)

But, I really appreciate them for appreciating me, for my efforts are being recognised.... at least by the people at the receiving end.

It's great to work with my clients..... sometimes.... I learnt alot from them.... about life.... even myself.... but it is time to move on.....

Money and Relationship

Class 95FM Morning Express was talking about loan and relationship.

They mentioned that there was someone who loaned another person $60,000 and never gets them back.

I remembered I have a friend who loan some large amount to this girl that he likes.... but never to get it back... when I say large.... I really mean large.... mulitples of ten thousands kind... not too sure if the girl is trying to "make use" of his LOVE for him but apparently it seems like it. Now he trying to get back the money.... hope he is able to get it back.....

Sometimes is these "blacksheeps" that cause people to lose faith and trust in people..... especially when you decided to put that trust in people... and yet they that breach that trust.....

Glenn and Flying Dutchman was saying that when people loan out money, they should treat it as a gift. And if that person return, it is a Bonus!

Well, I guess when people decided to loan you that amount of money...... they really trust you that you will return. If you can't, please make arrangement to see how can it be returned.... haha.... don't worry.... I didn't lend money to any1..... maybe I did... to my brother.... but I can't remember how much is it already....

But, now to think of it, really thank 2 people for lending me $$ when I needed them..... But am sorry that I took so long to return back that time..... they are:

MABEL TAN!!! For lending me $500 during my JC1 time to purchase my Datamini PC for Yr 1 A Level C++ Programing Coursework and yr 2 CAD and C++.....

Of Course Ms Yiwei..... $500 for me to go Taiwan..... haha.... I guess if you never initiated to lend me the $$, Iguess I never have the opportunity to go that far.... and of course.... to build the friendship of 8 of us..... which later became to be known as the Taiwan Gang by the class..... haha.... sounds like some 黑色会 黑社会right? lolx...

Running Update #2

Hey.... I managed to go for my 2nd round of jogging yesterday..... But wasn't very satisfied with the results.....


Before 1km : Started to pant and had stitches already
2.5 km : less than 20 min
4.3 km : 35 min


After my 2.5km, I started to breathe quite heavily, wheezing breathe out like those sound that you make when you have asthmatic. Thus, tried to just concentrate on my breathing after the 2.5km. I guess my breathing is really bad.... maybe some swimming will help to improve on my breathing.... but I dunno how.... =(

Sometimes I just hate to run alone.... but on the other hand... sometimes I just need time alone... haha.... confusing gal eh? lolx.....

I need to improve on my speed as well..... really slow..... I need to run with the most 7 mintues per 1 km - 70mins/10km. Now with this timing.... if I keep this constant... it will be 82 mins , i.e. 1 hr and 22 min....

Shall see how.... maybe I should play more with the children's blow toys to improve my breathing.... I really cannot blow out using my lungs sia.... maybe that's why the doctor wants me to use a preventive inhaler(Brown) 2-3 years back, which I totally refused when I have serious shortness of breathe (SOB) that I feel that I am going to die....

Still have my reliever inhaler (blue)... but don't use it too.Probably expired too. Maybe I should carry it with me when I go run. In case I really SOB.... lolx...

Maybe next run I shall train at stadium.... to monitor my speed better..... See how.... look out for more updates!

苦中作乐

Today during therapy, there was this client who mentioned:


"You see him happy but there is pain."

This is often so true where people may seem happy but yet actually they are not. All 苦中作乐......

But this group of clients that I see..... sometimes, when you feel down... they seemed to cheer me up with their 苦中作乐.... they will make all sort of noise and sound when the others are in pain.... but that is to reduce the tension/pain the others are feeling.... ...

I guess there are different types of pain - physical, emotional, etc....

But I guess the most painful is emotional pain ba.... physical pain can be treated with medicine physically and internally..... emotional pain are the hardest to heal.....

But I see that emotional pain in people around me...... my clients and friends, including myself sometimes.... but there is always so much that I can do....

Everybody's here


I had a dream the other night inside my head
One of me that it seems I’ve always had…
In the middle of nowhere dark and cold
I find myself all alone.
And everytime it seems like it never ends
I gotta find my way back to get me out of there…


I had a dream the other night inside my head
The same old dream, but then instead
Of being alone in the middle of who knows where
I saw another man standing there….
So I went up to his face and I turned and said
How can I be the only one inside this place?


Cos, you don’t know that everybody’s here
Same old story time and time again
You just never turn to look behind (you)”


So I turned a little round and what (did) I see?
A line of people waiting around like me
“you’re not alone” is what I mean…
“…or why would the line stretch to the sea?”
All of us adrift in an endless space
I’m not the only one inside this place


He said, “You on your own is what you see here
And it’s hard to see it any other way
Now it’s time to open up your eyes.
Cos, you don’t know that everybody’s here
Same old story time and time again
You just never turned to look behind.”


He said, “You on your own is what you see here
And it’s hard to see it any other way
Now it’s time to open up your eyes.
Cos, you don’t know that everybody’s here
Same old story time and time again
You just never turned to look behind.”


I’m not alone, it’s not just me here
It’s not (that) hard to reach out to find your way
Now it’s time to open up your eyes.

4 people u will meet in ur life

I was reading Lenia's Blog and came across the same thing SY shared with me before.
Thus decided to share this with everyone ....... Copy and paste from Lenia's Blog.

Life is the process of finding love; every person will need to find four people in their life.

First person is yourself,
Second person is the one you love most,
Third person is the one who love you most,
And the fourth is the one you spend the rest of your life with.

In life, you will usually first meet with the one you love most, and learn how love feels.
Because you know how love feels, so you can find the person who loves you most.
When you have experienced the feeling of loving others and being loved,
you will then know what it is you need most.
Then you will find the person who is most suitable for you, to be able to spend the rest of your life with.

Sadly, in real life, these three people are usually not the same person.
The one you love most doesn't love you.
The one who love you most is never the one you love most.
And the one you spend your life with, is never the one you love most or the one who love you most.
He or she is just the person who happens to be at the right place at the right time.

Which person are you in other people's life?

No person will purposely have a change of heart.
At the point in time when he loves you, he really loves you.
But when he doesn't love you anymore, he really doesn't love you anymore.
When he loves you, he can't pretend that he doesn?t.
Same goes, when he loves you no more, there's no way he can pretend he loves you.
When a person doesn't love you and wants to leave you.

You must ask yourself if you still love him,
If you also don't love him anymore, do not keep him just to save your pride.
If you still love him, you should wish him happiness,and hope that he will be with the one he loves most,not stop him from it.
If you stop him from finding true happiness with the one he loves,
it shows you already don't love him,
And if you don't love him, what rights do you have to blame him for a change of heart?

Love is not possessive.
If you like the moon, you can?t just take it down and put it in your basin,
But the moonlight still shines upon you.
In other words, when you love a person, you can use another method of possessing the person. Let him become a permanent memory in you life.

If you really love a person, you must love him for what he is.
Love him for his good points, and the bad.
You can't wish for him to become like what you will like him to be just because you love him.
If he can't change to become what you like him to be,you don't love him anymore.

When you really love a person, you cannot find a reason why you love him.
You only know that no matter when and where, good mood or bad mood, you will wish to have this person be with you.

Real love is when two people can go through thetoughest problems without asking for promises or listing criterias.
In a relationship, you have to put in effort and give in at times, not always be on the receiving end.

Being away from each other is a type of test.
If the relationship isn't strong, then you can onlyadmit defeat.
Real love will never become hate.

When two people are in love,they love to ask each other
to swear, to make promises.
Why do they ask each other to swear and promise?
Because they don't trust each other, they don't trusttheir lover.
These swear and promises are useless; Till the sky falls, till the ocean dry, my love foryou will never change!

We all know that the sky will never fall; the oceanwill never dry,
Even if it does happen, are we still alive by then?
Be careful when making promises; don't make promisesthat you cannot keep.
Swear by things that can never happen, because it can never happen, so no harm just saying it casually.

In a relationship, what you say is one thing, but what you do is another;
The one saying, doesn't believe; the one listening,also doesn't believe.


In the world so big, which person have you found?

And who has found you?
